I don't want to stir the pot or create drama, but as a mom of preemies, this comment doesn't sit right with me. Sometimes you do everything right, eat exactly what you're supposed to, live a healthy lifestyle, and still have a preemie. 50% of preemies are born early for unknown reasons.

It hurts to still have people question why my girls were early, as if I did something wrong to make it happen. Or sometimes people think it is just because I'm quite petite. Even the high risk OB wasn't sure why my first two were early.

I agree. I don't have twins or preemies but the statement made me cringe too. mama.

Agreed and well said. My first was early and I was participating in a healthy diet and exercise in pregnancy study so getting great advice weekly about my diet.

Op I would try clomid I've heard that really ups the chance of multiples.

Crazy! I went on Clomid for infertility at one point. The idea of twins freaked me out so much that we skipped trying that month & I never took the Clomid again. I would never purposefully try to have twins!

Me either...my first are twins and they are 8 now...it was a hard pregnancy and things don't get any easier once they're born :-) I went in to fertility treatments just hoping for ONE baby....
